This profile is a few years old. It will be re-written when I reach this character's death in my novel notes.

The wife of Sun Ce and daughter of a poweful duke from the South Land. Also the sister of Xiao Qiao. She and her sister were called "The Two Qiaos", famed for their beauty.

"So beautiful are they that birds alight and fishes drown, the moon hides her face and the flowers blush for shame at sight of them."

Cao Cao, ruler of Wei had heard of them, and being friends with their father planned on marrying them. However, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce married the two sisters before Cao Cao could claim them.

Note: Da Qiao's name requires some explanation. In the novel she is never refered to by this name (doesn't really HAVE a name, actually). The people at Omega Force apparently took her last name and put "da" in front of it. Da means "big", refering to the fact that she is the big sister of Xiao Qiao.
